man and woman on laptop It’s that time of year again. Preparing for tax season can seem overwhelming. Some forms and paperwork might be difficult to track down. If you misplaced your Benefits Statement or haven’t received it by the end of January, we’ve made it easy to go online to get a replacement with a personal my Social Security account.

An SSA-1099, also called a Benefit Statement, is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to the more than 60 million people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits received from Social Security in the previous year so people know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on their tax return.

For noncitizens who live outside of the United States and received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, we’ll send form SSA-1042S instead. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

If you currently live in the United States and need a replacement form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, we have a way for you to get a replacement quickly and easily. Go online and get a replacement form with a personal my Social Security account.

Every worker in the United States should create a personal my Social Security account. The secure and personalized features of my Social Security are valuable tools to help Americans plan for retirement.

    Hello. My mother passed away in September, 2019. We (her heirs) need to file income tax returns for her for the past four years; she had been ill and neglected to do that. How can I get replacement SSA-1099 forms for her. We have received the form for 2019; now we need forms for 2016, ’17, and ’18. Please tell me how I can request them.

    Thanks for your help.

    I have not received a copy of my Social Security W-2. I have an appointment to get my taxes done on Friday. Can I get a copy fast?

    Is it true that if we did not receive a w2 from a past employer one could be obtained from SSA with a charge of $86 dollars if it isn’t social security related? I am asking because I have tried everything and anything to obtain it and have had no luck.
